EPRI (ASERTTI Member) Launces Study on Integrated Grid

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) launched a recent study on the transformation of the electric power grid. The intent of the paper, The Integrated Grid: Realizing the Full Value of Central and Distributed Energy Resources, is to align stakeholders, and support open, fact-based discussion about the grid and distributed resources.

The report, Impact of Climate Variability on the Energy Use and Economics of NASA facilities, highlights key technologies aimed at decreasing future building energy use under various climate change scenarios, and that can help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
